Mercedes-Benz SLR

722 Edition

Stirling Moss won the Mille Miglia of 1955 with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with start number 722. This is where the name '722 Edition' comes from. It's a special edition of the iconic SLR McLaren that was introduced in 2004. Only 150 examples of the 722 Edition were ever produced.
With more power and less weight than the 'standard' version, it gives a more aggressive driving experience. Furthermore, the steering and aerodynamics of the 722 is sharpened and the suspensions hardened. The car is fitted with a new carbon front splitter and rear diffuser to increase downforce. Overall, over 300 components have undergone improvements or replacements, leading to a weight reduction of 44 kg, bringing it down to 1.724 kg.
The interior showcases distinctive red stitching and seat belts, alcantara bucket seats, a suede-covered steering wheel and re-designed aluminium shift paddles. Additionally, the enter console features a '722 Edition' plaque.

Engine
The electronic black box of the hand-built 5,5-litre supercharged V8 is reprogrammed to yield an output go 650 horsepower and a torque of 800 Nm at 4.000 rpm. This is 24 hp and 40 Nm more than the standard SLR McLaren. Consequently, 100 km/h can be reached in 3,6 seconds and a top speed 335 km/h can be hit without a problem.
